HB 631 -- Missouri Department of Transportation and Highway
Patrol Employees' Retirement System

Sponsor:  Schlottach

Currently, a uniformed member of the State Highway Patrol may
purchase up to four years of his or her prior creditable service
as a nonfederal, full-time public employee if he or she is not
receiving or eligible to receive credits or benefits from any
other public plan for the service being purchased.  This bill
allows any member of the Missouri Department of Transportation
and Highway Patrol Employees' Retirement System (MPERS) to
purchase the service.

The purchase of this service must be completed prior to
retirement or termination of employment.  If a member who
purchased service dies prior to retirement, the surviving spouse
can receive a refund of the amount contributed for the purchase
if he or she is not eligible for survivor benefits.
